Anyone having balance problems???

Is anyone else having problems with their balance? I have fallen three times now in the last week. I just don't know why! Sore and Bruised! Melanie

Hi, I haven't fallen, but I do get whoosy when I bend down/over and get up. I get light headed and feel faint. I have low blood pressure now since surgery. Have you called your doctor? Maybe something is off kilter or your own BP may be off. paula

I have low blood pressure also. When I get up to fast I get faint. Happy Holidays Barb

Hi Yep I do! I haven`t fallen but have caught myself a couple of times.My blood pressure is lower than it was before I had surgery.Yesterday it was 96/60 and pulse was 54! So it could be that. Daisys Owner

I'm having problems of a similar nature. If I don't remember to eat, I'll get light headed and fall. But some of my balance issues is with my changing size. My belly is much smaller, I used to be able to use it to open doors, but now I bump my knees when I try that. Had to relearn to use my hips.

Hi Melanie, I get a little off balance sometimes too. I actually passed out in the shower once. But I was almost a month out at that time. I am going to a post-op next week, I will have to ask my surgeon about it. Britt

Hi Melanie -- yup! I think it's either not getting enough calories and getting really dizzy, or being on blood pressure meds and now my pb is getting normal. I need to have it checked out cause I don't like to fall!! You do the same, little girl!! donna

Hi Melanie, I have been dizzy for about 2 weeks now, it is worse in the morning when I first sit up in bed, then throughout the day I just feel like I'm not all there, if I turn to fast I get very dizzy. Had all my bloodwork just done and my primary dr says everything looks fine, I go to my RNY dr on Friday and will see what he might have to say, I have a feeling he will say more water......so what else is new! Hope you get your answers to this dizzy/balance issue. If I hear anything I will let you know. Take Care Debra
